Removing the gui configuration from the installer is a major setback for people that cannot figure out how to get kde up and running. The handbook doesn't explain it well enough for newbs to get it going. It says, "simply type # xorg -configure". Well, newsflash, no file or command. Maybe I had to be in the correct directory, but I couldn't find it. Another suggestion said to use pkg_add to download and install xorg and after ten minutes of downloading I was back at square-one again. I've gotten earlier versions up and running, no-problemo, and even with the installer handling kde, it still required some technical skill. If someone couldn't install an earlier version of FreeBSD, they sure as hell can't install the latest one. I said, "hell with it", and I'm downloading yoper. I'm determined to get something up and running and that's probably why I'm about ready to punch a wall right now. I've figured out one thing so far, quality bsd/nix support is not easy to find. cc to reply as I don't think I'll be monitoring the list
